An advertisement by the government of India on Sunday announced 10 positions at the joint secretary level for ‘talented and motivated’ professionals. Experts weigh in whether it will help.
Request for Information issued by govt seeks transfer of technology. This comes as the planned acquisition of 200 Kamov light utility helicopters from Russia remains in limbo.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Appointment of Manmohan singh son in Law shows there is no bias against any body. After all appointments are the prerogative of the PM. In congress regime only kerala cadre IAS officers are preferred. Still Modi govt is not enthusiastic in filling PSU posts. Also appointment of Offices like Aruna sundarajan would spoil the image of the govt
Irrelevant information has been collected by filing an RTI and the same has been published. This also show the deployment of people with low intelligence in the media.
I do not know how this “cadre” thing works. If you see the names of the Gujarat cadre guys mentioned in the article, none of them sounds like a typical Gujarati name. “Bhavsar” can be it, but it’s also a Maharashtrian name.
But this is somewhat natural. People prefer home food, and “home” people. In Indira Gandhi’s time D.P. Dhar was very powerful as the deputy chairman of planning commission. Then there was one P.N. Haskar, both were Kashmiris. What is worse, Pandit Nehru had a General by the name of Kaul, he too was a Kashmiri, and I don’t remember the whole story now, but he was the one who apparently played a hugely negative role during the 1962 war.
But what has Mr Modi gained by having these Gujarat fellows in PMO and finance ministry? No one could advise him, or I think he is beyond all advise! He only collects “yes men” around him. Take this example: if really 52 lakh crores were given out by the Banks between 2008 and 2014, then shouldn’t he have taken a commonsensical decision: “don’t disturb the businesses now, they have taken big risks by picking up so much money, let them work without disturbance”. There was no Gujarat guy in PMO who could tell him that? But no, he first went ahead and dropped the bombshell of demonetization on them, then six months later pushed them into GST. Or maybe that figure of 52 lakh crores itself is wrong. Who knows, really?!
I think all these Gujarat intelligentsia is brought in to bolster Modi ji’s ego, nothing else. They are all having a ball.
It will also be relevant if you share the total number of officers in PMO, Finance and Home Ministries and their cadres. Only then a complete picture of the point you are making will be visible. Also the cadre wise break down of officers belonging to other states.
